Places to get Vtec Solenoid Gasket

Post by prelude_h22 » Thu Oct 31, 2013 7:52 pm

HI All

Just a quick one. Looking to change the vtec gasket on the solenoid and was wondering if anyone knows of places to get cheap other than lings

At 30 quid it seems quite expensive just for a bit of rubber. lol

Thanks guys

Cheers dudes!

when cleaning the vtec soleniod is it just a matter of cleaning the mesh screen by spraying brake cleaner at it and the rest of the assembly?
(like on an EGR valve)

Carb cleaner or degreaser.

The new seal comes with the strainer mesh in it.
